David Gill expects Rooney to stay at Man Utd


Manchester United chief executive David Gill expects Wayne Rooney to stay at the club, despite the reported interest of Paris St Germain. Rooney reportedly told Sir Alex Ferguson that he wants to quit United towards the end of last season.

However, those at the very top of the club are certain Rooney will not be leaving and that they intend to keep the England international striker for many years to come.


"As Sir Alex said at his last press conference, that's an issue for David Moyes. I'm confident he will be here next season," said Gill.


"He's a great player and this club doesn't want to lose its star players.


"So I'm sure every bit of work is being taken with Wayne and his advisors and the club to make sure that happens.


"I'm not a betting man but I'm confident when I sit at Old Trafford next season I will see Wayne Rooney running out."
